Francis Grogan moved to Zambia from Ireland in 1991 after applying for a meat factory management position he saw in the newspaper. He soon started working with Zambian Carl Irwin who had just qualified as a chartered accountant, and in 1994 the two started Zambeef. Today the company has grown into a US$300m plus business, and is a market leader in the production, processing, distribution and retailing of beef, chicken, pork, milk and dairy products, eggs, edible oils, stock feed, flour and bread.
